Policy:-Essentially, the current policy as it exists now-Clans must apply or send messages to us to be considered for a treaty (alliance, clan battle, and the like)-After contacting us, we then consider whether or not to accept that treaty

Pros:-very inclusive, communicates friendliness and approachability-requires little effort/work on our part-potentially a fast way of building up a network of alliances/arranging clan battles

Cons:-very inclusive (it could be argued that we should be pickier)-it puts all the effort on them (could deter other clans from initiating diplomatic relations)-relative to other policies, less investment in individual clans seeking out a treaty

"Closed Doors"

Policy:

-Treaties are offered by invitation only-we consider each clan as potential allies/opponents before contacting them ourselves-If we conclude they would make a good ally/opponent, we contact them personally-After contact, further dialogue and consideration can take place- Once talks with emissaries has concluded, terms must be ratified by representatives (TBD)

Pros:-By contacting them ourselves, we make it easier for potential allies to initiate diplomatic relations-Very direct and personal form of dialogue-Enables us to consider allies even before we approach them with an invitation

We cannot enter into alliance with neighboring princes until we are acquainted with their designs. We are not fit to lead an army on the march unless we are familiar with the face of the country—its mountains and forests, its pitfalls and precipices, its marshes and swamps. We shall be unable to turn natural advantages to account unless we make use of local guides.

~Sun Tzu

--------------------------------------------------------------------On dispersive ground, therefore, fight not. On facile ground, halt not. On contentious ground, attack not. On open ground, do not try to block the enemy's way. On the ground of intersecting highways, join hands with your allies. On serious ground, gather in plunder. In difficult ground, keep steadily on the march. On hemmed-in ground, resort to stratagem. On desperate ground, fight.- Sun Tzu

I like closed door policy it allows our Daimyo to pick who he feels can better reach his goals in the long run. it gets straight to the point and offers less drama in the end the Daimyo will pick who he wants to be allies with who will ultimately support us and bring us victory in the end.
